I prefer to photograph hummingbirds off of feeders but haven't taken much time to catch one on a tree branch lately. Photographed in my backyard, Yakima County, Washington. IMG_6721

Anna’s Hummingbirds are mostly green and gray, without any rufous or orange marks on the body. The male's head and throat are covered in iridescent reddish-pink feathers that can look dull brown or gray without direct sunlight.
Anna’s Hummingbirds are a blur of motion as they hover before flowers looking for nectar and insects. Listen for the male's scratchy metallic song and look for him perched above head level in trees and shrubs.
Anna’s Hummingbirds are common in yards, parks, residential streets, eucalyptus groves, riverside woods, savannahs, and coastal scrub. They readily come to hummingbird feeders and flowering plants, including cultivated species in gardens.

Thank you everyone for views, comments, invites, awards, and faves. Have a wonderful day.
Here's another shot of our winter Hummer. A male Anna's Hummingbird (Calypte anna) perched just above a feeder in our Butterfly bush.
I can't get enough of shooting this little jewel!

Anna's hummingbird is a small bird species found primarily in western North America, ranging from southern Alaska to Baja California in Mexico. The male has vibrant iridescent feathers on its head and throat, which can change color depending on the angle and lighting. The female has a duller green coloration and lacks the male's flashy head and throat feathers. They are known for their incredible aerial acrobatics and their ability to hover in place while drinking nectar from flowers. Anna's hummingbirds are an important pollinator for many plant species and are a popular species for birdwatchers and backyard bird enthusiasts.

This Anna's hummingbird was leaving then returning to this spot in a tree; I got a few chances to capture it in this spot, but didn't manage to get a flight shot. Oh, well!

Here's what I believe to be a juvenile male Ann's Hummingbird (Calypte anna). The black feathers at it's neck threw me off on this ID. If I'm wrong, please tell me!

Anna’s Hummingbirds are among the most common hummingbirds along the Pacific Coast, yet they're anything but common in appearance. With their iridescent emerald feathers and sparkling rose-pink throats, they are more like flying jewelry than birds. Though no larger than a ping-pong ball and no heavier than a nickel, Anna’s Hummingbirds make a strong impression. In their thrilling courtship displays, males climb up to 130 feet into the air and then swoop to the ground with a curious burst of noise that they produce through their tail feathers.
Anna's Hummingbirds normally have a body temperature of around 107 degrees Fahrenheit—that's a scorching temperature for a human. When outside temperatures fall, Anna's and many other species of hummingbirds enter torpor. Their breathing and heart rate slow, and their body temperature can fall as low as 48 degrees Fahrenheit. When the temperature warms, the hummingbirds can become active again in a few minutes.
Anna’s Hummingbirds are common in urban and suburban settings as well as wilder places such as chaparral, coastal scrub, oak savannahs, and open woodland. They are notably common around eucalyptus trees, even though eucalyptus was only introduced to the West Coast in the mid-nineteenth century.
Anna’s Hummingbirds eat nectar from many flowering plants, including currant, gooseberry, manzanita, and many introduced species such as eucalyptus. They also eat a wide array of insects from understory leaves, crevices, streambanks, or caught in spider webs, plucked from the air, or taken from flowers.
Primarily they target smaller insects, like midges, whiteflies, and leaf hoppers (one female was found with 32 leafhoppers in her stomach at once). They also help themselves to tree sap (and insects caught in it) leaking out from holes made by sapsuckers.
